Odalisque 2014

Odalisque includes a series of larger scale self portrait works, works on paper and an altered book. The works combine digital prints, appliqué, embroidery, beading and more traditional mark making techniques using acrylic and gouache. Collaged images have been taken from a copy of Gauguin's Noa Noa in German, a Musée Picasso Guide in French from 1985 and various facsimiles taken of works by Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Paul Gauguin referencing or utilising the mythic image of the odalisque. Photographs of domestic interior spaces throughout the works are taken from my grandmother's house in Uruguay.

A limited edition zine also titled Odalisque has been produced for this body of work and will be complimentary with the purchase of an artwork.
